SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod 4Sensors 4K 8MP 180X Hybrid Gimbal Camera

Unmatched Multi-Sensor Intelligence in One Optical Pod

The SIYI ZT30 is a cutting-edge four-sensor optical pod engineered for professionals who demand the highest level of situational awareness from aerial, ground, and maritime platforms. Integrating four independent yet synchronized sensors — a 4K zoom camera, a 640×512 thermal imaging camera, a 2K ultra-wide angle camera, and a 1200-meter laser rangefinder — the ZT30 delivers a complete intelligence-gathering solution in a single lightweight payload weighing just 854 grams. Whether you’re conducting critical infrastructure inspections, search-and-rescue operations, border surveillance, or precision agriculture missions, the ZT30 puts an entire observation suite at your fingertips.

Superior Optical Performance with 4K 180X Hybrid Zoom

At the heart of the ZT30 is a high-performance 4K zoom camera built around a 1/2.7-inch 8MP Sony-class CMOS sensor. With 30X optical zoom and up to 180X hybrid zoom capability, the camera achieves a focal length range of 4.8mm to 149mm, enabling operators to identify targets from extreme distances with exceptional clarity. The camera records in stunning 4K (4096×2160) at 30fps and supports 2K, 1080p, and 720p recording formats — all encoded in efficient H.265 at 15 Mbps. The ZT30 also supports the innovative split-image and synchronized zoom display mode, allowing operators to view multiple sensor feeds simultaneously on a single screen, dramatically improving decision-making speed in complex operational scenarios.

Precision Thermal Imaging with Full Thermometric Capability

The ZT30’s integrated thermal imaging module is powered by an uncooled Vanadium Oxide (VOx) microbolometer sensor delivering 640×512 pixel resolution — a step up from most competing pods. It captures long-wave infrared in the 8–14µm wavelength range and supports full-image thermometric, point thermometric, and box thermometric measurement modes. The high-gain mode measures temperatures from -20°C to +150°C with ±2°C accuracy, while the low-gain mode extends the range up to +550°C — ideal for industrial inspection, firefighting operations, and electrical grid monitoring. Thermal color palettes are fully switchable via the SIYI FPV app or SDK commands, giving operators complete control over the visual output.

1200-Meter Laser Rangefinder with GPS Coordinate Output

Integrated directly into the pod’s sensor suite, the ZT30’s high-accuracy laser rangefinder operates across a 5 to 1200-meter range with a measurement resolution of just 0.1 meters. Operating at a wavelength of 900–908nm with a laser pulse frequency of 3Hz, it provides rapid and reliable distance data in real-world field conditions. Crucially, the rangefinder goes beyond simple distance measurements — it delivers full GPS target coordinates directly through the SIYI FPV app or via SIYI Gimbal SDK commands, enabling precise georeferencing of objects of interest during reconnaissance, mapping, or targeting missions. This makes the ZT30 an invaluable tool for any application where exact location data is as important as the visual feed.

Seamless Integration, Flexible Mounting & Professional Control

The ZT30 is designed for maximum operational flexibility. Its 3-axis stabilized gimbal maintains ±0.01° angular stability across all axes, with a controllable pitch range of -90° to +25°, a full limitless yaw rotation, and ±45° roll compensation. The patented quick-release anti-vibration claw enables fast installation and removal in the field without tools. The pod supports nose mode for forward-facing deployment and upside-down mode for inverted installations, adapting to virtually any platform configuration. It is natively compatible with ArduPilot and PX4 autopilot systems via Mavlink, and also supports traditional S.Bus, UART, and Ethernet UDP/TCP control interfaces. With a wide operating voltage range of 11V to 25.2V and average power consumption of just 9W, the ZT30 integrates smoothly into UAV, UGV, and USV power systems across the board.
